COSMOS

Daily Maps of Snow Cover, Snow Height and Snow-Water-Equivalent.

Snow data from space.

At ExoLabs we developed and are still actively improving a pipeline from satellite imagery to three main characteristics of snow.

These models build on top of each other and are unique in their temporal (daily) and spatial (20 m) resolution. The high influence of topography on snow distribution is considered in a novel approach, whose full potential is yet to be discovered.

Snow Cover

A global map of probabilities that a respective pixel is covered in snow.

Snow Depth

Regional maps of the height of snow cover.

Snow-Water-Equivalent

Snow can be dry or wet, compact or loose. Snow density combined with snow depth provides the critical information of how much water would be within a cube of snow, if melted.
